i don't know about that. i often get html-emails from companies which don't fit the screen. sometimes i can align it by adjusting to the left... shouldn't have to.
The new Gmail update included Pinch-to-Zoom. Check it out in the Settings. Works perfectly, solves this problem quite nicely.

I dunno about that - I really wanted to like Sparrow for iOS (aside from a couple bugs dealing with insane volumes of email, I love it on the desktop) but it never felt quite right to me. I've actually just now reinstalled it to check what bothered me so much, and it's the same issue I have with the new Gmail app: swipe-to-archive simply isn't there. Frequency of me archiving messages: extremely high. Frequency of ch…
>> swipe-to-archive simply isn't there >> Swiping the other direction exposes five options, two of which (I assume "archive" and "delete") have rather ambiguous icons Hyperbole, much?
edit - To clarify: widely-adopted shortcuts are only effective when they work the same everywhere. Imagine if some applications mapped "paste" to ^P instead of ^V. It might as well not be there.

In Mail.app on iOS you just have to tap the 'From' address and choose a different one. What am I missing?
Not exactly. To send from a different 'From' in Mail.app, first you need to connect your iPhone to additional email accounts (Settings->Mail). Then these addresses will show up in your 'From' drop down. But then you end up with multiple inboxes in your Mail.app. Which is messy, fills up storage, and hurts my brain -- since I never need to check my other inboxes (because all my email addresses forward to the same Gmai…
So let's say I have 2 email address, me@gmail.com and me@mydomain.com. My gmail account is setup so I can send from either one. If I get an email sent to me@mydomain.com and I change the From address to me@gmail.com in my reply, it always sends it from me@mydomain.com anyway. It doesn't matter what I select for the from address. This doesn't happen in the normal gmail web interface, it's only the Android app.
The thing is that this used to work a few years ago (Android 2.2 or very early in 2.3). It was broke in an update at some point and still hasn't been fixed. I've tried reporting the bug, and even had a Google employee verify he has the same problem, but it's unfortunately still there. I've verified it with other people, and it's happened on the past 3 Android phones I've had, so it seems to be a universal problem.
Google, I have the solution. Step 1: Checkout the Sparrow source code Step 2: Find and Replace All on the word "Sparrow" and change it to "Gmail" Step 3: Add push notifications. Compile and send to the app store.
I love the Gmail iPhone app. In particular, I love that it lets me change the "from" address, similarly to how the gmail.com site lets me do that. Neither Mail.app nor Sparrow made it easy to change the from. I have a few different email addresses that all get forwarded to my gmail account. Finally my mobile mail problem -- being able to select my from -- is solved. If anyone from Google is reading this, thank you!

Why didn't Sparrow have Push again? Seems like a no brainer, but I vaguely remember them being caught in a pickle that prevented it.
They wanted Apple to allow then to run a daemon process that checks for new mail on the device, which Apple was reluctant to do (in general, I really like Apple's implementation of background services, but in this case I think they should've relented).
